If Mackael's suggestion doesn't help, let's try with nvidiafb and a
newer kernel:
It did not help, causing a kernel panic that I couldn't resolve.
Give 2.6.14 a try (there are some release canidates for vanilla
sources), apply this patch:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2005-October/019957.html
and then try nvidiafb.
I have downloaded linux-2.6.14-rc3, but was unable to apply the patch: I
put it within /linux and wrote
patch --verbose -p1 < Patch_nvidiafb
Is that not correct? It failed on 5 hunks out of 5.
Nevertheless, I tried to compile the kernel using rivafb, but I got this
error:
init/built-in.c
.tmp_vmlinux1
localsymbol 0 (or 1 or 2 or 3):discarded in section
`.exit.data`from\ drivers/built-in.c
[.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
I don't see to what item in menuconfig this could be related. There are
no such files as init/built-in or drivers/built-in.
Could you please enlighten me?
